[QUOTE="LegalNim, post: 30933, member: 3781"] [USER=1]@Jaysen[/USER] I'm referring to the third question where they state that collaboration is their most important quality - then they ask how you would describe them. Like I said, either you say exactly what they've said in the question and look like an idiot for repeating the question, or you describe them differently to how they've described themselves and your the one disagreeing with a firm about their own USP. Either way, surely you look stupid. If the question were as you've written it then it would be a very simple question. Regarding the mitigating circumstances, 200 words is often not enough for people with complex needs and it doesn't seem fair that people with disabilities have to use that opportunity to explain themselves whilst able-bodied people can use it to highlight good things about themselves. I maintain that it's absurd under the work experience section to want to know the employer, job title and dates and there to be zero opportunity to say your actual role or responsibilities - in this section if you volunteered for Citizens' Advice for one hour a week for two years, that looks significantly more impressive than volunteering for Citizens' Advice full time for a year. Job titles like "Supervisor", "Volunteer", "Assistant Manager" mean absolutely nothing without an opportunity to explain them. And, you've completely ignored the fact that they only accept certain disabilities as valid disabilities. [/QUOTE]
